Spurge fig 5 (IMAGE)
Caption
A 52-million-year-old compound infructescence fossil showing preserved fruits and seeds attached to branches, collected by the late Rodolfo Magín Casamiquela from Laguna del Hunco, Chubut province, Argentina. The plant's characteristics — such as the terminal fruit (tf), axile seeds (sd) and plumose stigma (st) — are only found today in the Macaranga-Mallotus clade of the spurge family.
